Jennifer Lopez, 53, shows-off her stunning figure as she opens up on her 'challenging' regimen
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez works out every day to feel good about herself as well as to look beautiful on the red carpet. The 53-year-old 'Shotgun Wedding' actress explained to UsWeekly on March 22 how exercising keeps her spirit upbeat.
The Bronx-born beauty was promoting BodyArmor Lite for the new 'Choose More' campaign, which she starred in. She also recently advertised Revolve sneakers while completely undressed.

'I try to make good choices'
"It's no secret that fitness is a very important part of my life," said the actress who is married to Ben Affleck and is mother to twins Max and Emme, 15. "I think there's a positive correlation between exercise and mental health," shared the artist whose next album, 'This Is Me... Now' - a follow-up to 2003's 'This Is Me... Then' - will debut this summer.
Jlo is not wrong about that. According to MentalHealth.org, "Research shows that people who exercise regularly have better mental health and emotional wellbeing, and lower rates of mental illness. Taking up exercise seems to reduce the risk of developing mental illness. It also seems to help in treating some mental health conditions, like depression and anxiety."
Lopez also said to UsWeekly writer Meredith Nardino, "When you find a good balance through determination and focus, we're naturally pushing to be the best version of ourselves." No matter what her "busy schedule" has in store, Lopez insisted that she starts moving "first thing in the morning," which is frequently before 5 am while it is still dark. "I try to make good choices and balance my time," she added.
She also varies the exercises she performs. "I'm always evolving and looking for things that keep me excited and motivated," she explained. "I'm not afraid to challenge myself, so I'm open to pushing myself, which is what I'm doing right now as I rehearse for my new album, [This Is Me… Now], coming out this summer."
'BODYARMOR LYTE is a product that has worked for me'
She then talks about Bodyarmour Lyte. "We share similar values when it comes to determination, hard work and passion to challenge ourselves to go harder and get better every day," Lopez told the outlet. "BODYARMOR LYTE is a product that has worked for me. I love it because it has zero sugar added and it's low-calorie. It's made with a coconut water base and contains potassium-packed electrolytes and antioxidants – which contributes to staying hydrated, but also helps me replenish after an intense workout, performance or a full day on the go."
The actress does kickboxing, circuit training, core work, lunges, and burpees as part of her workout routine. "She shows up no matter what, she takes the time seriously, she knows her body, she wants to be herself," her trainer Tracy Anderson said previously. "She knows that putting in the hard work to get her workout in is part of it."
